June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Eating high-quality foods that contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy fats, protects the brain from oxidative stress-induced damage. We've listed our top 10 'brain boosting foods' to support cognitive and neural function. In addition to supplying important nutrients to support brain health, these foods align with a low insulin and low glycemic diet to further support reducing overall risk of these neurological conditions. #nutrition #functionalmedicine #foodasmedicine #brainhealth

How does movement improve blood glucose control? 1. When your muscles contract they have the ability to use glucose without the need for increased insulin. This is called Muscle Glucose Uptake. This reduces blood glucose levels after exercise. 2. Exercise also will use stored glucose (glycogen) in your muscles during exercise which now creates room in those muscles to take up blood glucose to replenish its stores. 3. Regular exercise also increases insulin sensitivity. This means your cells are more sensitive to insulin’s signal to take up glucose, reducing the glucose in your blood. If your cells are more insulin sensitive then the amount of insulin needed to do this job is reduced. If you'd like to learn more, check out our blog post on blood glucose + exercise: https://lnkd.in/eyPXM_WR #bloodsugarstability #glucosehomeostasis #functionalnutrition #exercise #insulinsensitivity #healthandwellness

With the efficacy and safety of intermittently fasting recently thrust into news headlines, we thought providing our perspective would be helpful. As with any nutritional protocol, there are nuances to be aware of and there is no “one size fits all” approach that works for everyone. See our article "Eat. Stop. Eat." for a bit about these nuances and how they might apply to you. https://lnkd.in/eSyRa68s #functionalnutrition #personalizedmedicine #intermittentfasting #timerestrictedeating #personalhealth #foodasmedicine

February is Heart Health Awareness Month and heart disease prevention starts with the FOOD we eat! With the biggest drivers of cardiovascular disease today being obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome —diet and lifestyle are the most powerful forms of treatment available. Simplex Health believes a heart healthy diet is one that improves insulin sensitivity, and is fiber and phytonutrient-rich to support healthy blood sugar, nourish the gut microbiome, and lower inflammation. #hearthealth #heartawarenessmonth #prevention #nutrition #dietandlifestyle #foodismedicine
